[QUOTE="Blaine Fields, post: 32733, member: 183"] Brent, I don't know the answer as to the whys. But what I do postulate is that people who ocmpete will gravitate to the most accurate setup possible. The fact that scores shot up with the introduction of the .308 and ultimately the bullseye had to be reduced in size means to me that competitors were shooting better (actually much better) with the .308 than with the 30-06. Given the huge number of different people, different rifles, and different equipment with the only commonality being the cartridge, I conclude that the interior ballistics of the .308 are superior to the 30-06. Exactly why, I can't say. It will be interesting to watch what happens to the 300 WM now that the 300 WSM has arrived. If "short and fat" is the reason for superior interior ballistics, then we should see the WSM line of cartridges outperform their slimmer cousins in terms of accuracy in a wide variety of applications and over a sufficient period of time.
